9 Things That Define The Life Of A College Student

After a month of college, I've come to understand that there are certain things that you cannot escape from in college. Whether it's socializing or the feeling of oncoming doom from finals, it's all present, but it's also the stuff that make up the whole college experience. So here are nine things that describe the life of a college student.

Staying up until the next day

Because studying. Just... studying. And procrastination ;)


Sleeping until the afternoon

But only on the weekends or the days with later or no classes.

Coffee/Tea

Because how else would we stay awake?


Smuggling cookies out of the dining hall and saving them for later

Because midnight snacks are a thing.

Ramen

Need I say more?

Missing your pets (if you have any)

Because really, you need that emotional support in your life.

Scrounging for quarters

Because laundry is a thing.

Napping at the most random times

Because we really resemble the Weasley's owl, Errol most of the time.

New adventures with New Friends

Because it's one of the main points of college. Oh, the places you'll go and the things you'll see.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
